Back exercises are responsible for giving your torso that attractive ‘V’ taper. You need to remember that there are two different types of back exercises: The ones where you need to pull in a perpendicular manner to your body and the ones where you need to pull in a direction aligned with your body.

Now, if you are looking for effective back exercises to do at home, then let us emphasize at the outset that pull-ups are probably the most important exercises you can do for your back, whether at home or at the gym. That being said, let us take a closer look at what they can do for you.

Not only working your back muscles, but your biceps as well. And if you want to develop a Lat spread commonly called ‘wings’,then pull-ups can be the most important tool you can use.

If you only get the chance to do two exercises for your back, then you should definitely choose these and push-ups.

The good thing about pull-ups is that you will need practically nothing more than a sturdy bar or doorframe. Take note, though, that the lack of equipment does not make this exercise very easy to perform. In fact, it can be quite difficult, especially for a beginner. After all, it is not very easy to lift your own weight unless you already are very lean and strong.

If you are a beginner and you want to take advantage of the benefits that these hardcore exercises have to offer, then you will need either a training partner who can spot you and make sure you maintain proper form or a low positioning of the pull-up bar so that you can simply push off from the floor lightly with your feet until you grow strong enough for an unasisted lift.

Remember to perform each rep slowly and refrain from swinging, kicking, or gyrating in any way. It is also advisable for you to use lifting straps to prevent your wrist from giving out in the middle of your workouts.

When you have gotten stronger and more used to doing pull-ups, you can also choose to perform any of its variations. One good variation is called the alternating grip pull-up. It is done by gripping the bar with one palm facing towards you and your other palm facing away. After a few minutes, switch the positions of your palms and then repeat the exercise. This is an excellent way of making your back muscles work harder if basic pull-ups have become too easy. Another good variation is the narrow-grip pull-up. It is done by gripping the bar with your hands close together. As you lift your body, bring it towards one side and then the other. You can also choose to do basic pull-ups while holding a dumbbell in-between your legs for added resistance.

However you choose to do your pulls, remember to keep proper form at all times. Take note as well that exercise without proper nutrition can be useless. Therefore, you should also follow a good nutrition guide while you work your muscles. By taking full advantage of the best back exercises to do at home and the right diet, you can easily look forward to a healthier and fitter life!
